See Gošev 1956. Some of the Rila fragments bear late inscriptions with nuema notation, accompanied by Cyrillic instructions, which are ascribed to Vladislav the Grammarian.

The fact that the Rila Glagolitic folia were found in a miscellany of the Rila Monastery library doeas not prove the hypothesis that they were written there.

The fragnments were discovered by V. Grigorovich, K.Ireček i &Icaron;. Ivanov. The greater Glagolitic part was found in the binding of Adrianti Miscellany of Vladislav the Grammarian. It is not known where Grigorovich ha found the first to leaves. Two folia were taken to Sankt Petersburg by Grigorovich and are now kept in the Russian National Library: MS 24.4.15, known as the Macedonian Glagolitic folio and MS 24.4.17, known as The Leaf of Grigorovich. The other 3 foia are kept in the Rila Monastery Library MS 3/6.
